Janice Di Falco

Janice Di Falco, RN, MSN, CNS, BC, FAACVPR
Houston Kaplan Center

Teaching for Kaplan has allowed me to be a part of preparing graduate nurses from a variety of programs and cultures to take their NCLEX® exam and be successful. Becoming a Registered Nurse has been a dream for these students and it is very rewarding to know that I had the opportunity to help graduate nurses reach their goals and dreams. The people that take their NCLEX® exam are the nurses of the future. It is very rewarding to know that I had the opportunity to impact their success.
 
Susan Gatto

Susan Gatto, RN, MSN
Little Rock Kaplan Center

I love teaching nursing and I love working with students from across the state. I use a lot of humor in the classroom. It's a great retention tool. Learning should be fun. I get excited when the students e-mail me and tell me they passed the NCLEX-RN®. Kaplan is a wonderful program and gives students the edge they need to be successful.
 
Kim Jackowski

Kim Jackowski, RN, BSN
New Jersey Kaplan Medical/International Center

Helping students apply their nursing knowledge utilizing critical thinking strategies in order to successfully pass the NCLEX® exam is a most rewarding challenge. The many emails I get from successful students just make my day. It pleases me to know not only that I have helped someone achieve a career goal but that I am still contributing to the wonderful profession of nursing.

Giving students the confidence required to earn the rewards of their hard work [is what I enjoy about teaching for Kaplan].
 
Kay Luft

Kay Luft, PhD—Candidate, MN, RN

As a nursing educator, I have a vested interest in preparing students for the NCLEX-RN®. Working with students allows me to help them achieve their professional career goals. Nothing delights me more than a student calling or stopping me to report, 'I passed!'
